WHAT I LEARNED IN AMERICA

Jalil Mortazavi

Humorous, engaging, and baffling experiences fill this book written by an American-Iranian as he tells of his problems learning the English language.  The author tries to cover much of what he has learned as he attempts to answer the question:  Is America the land of opportunity even for a blind journalist from Iran?  It is hoped that readers will be inspired, delighted and amused.  (Mortazavi works for the Persian-American Media Watch, and has been associated with Persian Voice of Boston, 24-Hour Persian Radio based in California, and 24-Hour Persian TV [NI TV].  He has appeared on Imus in the Morning, has done some news commentary on National Public Radio's All Things Considered and on Talk of the Nation, been a guest on various television and radio talk shows, and has written for such publications as The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, and The Brockton Enterprise.)
